Hi Wordies,

Go from pillar to post to think about more door idioms. A dooric pillar of
course. If you have one, ask your doorter for a hint.

Ask a doorsal Finn for help too, perhaps a doorlphin?

As one door closes, another one opens.

If one keeps hearing varying pitch of sounds it is probably the Doorpler
effect.
